    Bro, These guys who threw precautions to the wind, refused to wear face mask and observe any form of social distancing, will definitely refuse to undergo Covid19 tests This will grievously escalate the pandemic, as the district is bustling with normal life.. The administration is already on its knees. We all have to reap the whirlwind ! Those who are financially stable will survive, while the bankrupt will perish !!!!

    Mr.Saldanha...How far murder mystery proceeded of sushant's death. Some one revealed two ambulances seen around. Is it two deaths occured or of one. Fight is also happened in salman's resort between Sushant team and Suraj Pancholi team...!!
    Is it any continuation of deaths in row of Jiya Khan, Disha Salian and now of Sushant. In mumbai carona cases are rising every day. What's the reason behind it.

    There is no way a person can be 100%sure of got getting infected. The more the precaution taken the less the chance. All political leaders should set example of this by wearing masks and social distancing but they don't. Diring DKS visit to Mangalore, no such precauitions were heeded.So all those who were there should self quarantine including DKS.

    Very responsible of UTK. I hope others, who were in the function too are taking adequate measures.

    Friday, being Eid, UTK may have met a lot of people in the aftermath of the function. Hope all of them do know what they are bound for.

    The revelation of former MLC, Ivan D'souza n his wife Dr. Kavitha, having contracted Covid19 virus, has definitely caused panic in Mangaluru city !!! MLA U.T. Khader, has voluntarily gone into quarantine, has raised the alarm bells, with the tally of infection spreading like wildfire, in Dakshin Kannada district. The city is bustling with activity, no one, can now be sure of not getting infected, with this plague... Citizens must now be extremely cautious. This region should not be a replica of Hotspot like Mumbai
